I shall henceforth be known as: Local Woman

That's right, I've hit the small time---I am "Local woman" according to the headline in the free newspaper that will smack down on asphalt driveways throughout my town tomorrow morning.  Local Woman.  I feel like I ought to go out and get myself some sort of superhero costume.  "Oh no! I don't know which store has the best deal on cream of mushroom soup!"  "This sounds like a job for...Local Woman."

This pic you see here, that's my Clark Kent look.  You won't even know it's me when I'm in my Local Woman garb, but I'll give you a  hint---it'll most likely involve a Batavia Bulldogs sweatshirt, black leggins, a Darth Vader helmet, a Harry Potter robe, and possibly Spongebob shoes. Cuz I'm fairly certain I can scrounge all of that together on very short notice.

Hmm, I wonder who Local Woman's arch nemesis would be...

Does the Commissioner of Batavia send you the signal of a giant Longaberger basket in the sky?

Well done, you! You modest thing, leaving it for me to find out about on your blog! Little stinker.

Hullo schweetie pie. ;) Haha--the Basket-Signal. Hey, speaking of Batavia, I have a lovely little coffee shop we must visit next time you're in town.

"Holy Hell" - This is Why I Write #IWSG

Optional Question: What started you on your writing journey? Was it a particular book, movie, story, or series? Was it a teacher/coach/spouse/friend/parent? Did you just "know" suddenly you wanted to write? I love that this question came right now. I was just reminded of the very first novel-length story I ever wrote and why I wrote it. But first---how did I come to write it? My journey to writerhood was the result of 3 major factors: 1. I've always been a daydreamer. As a small child I'd spend hours rocking in the La-Z-Boy with my parents' easy-listening radio station playing in the background, just thinking and imagining to the likes of Olivia Newton-John and Barry Manilow. The clouds are still my favorite place to put my head...but I listen to better music now. 2. I dig words. I'd always thought of myself as more of a numbers person, but as I forged a career as an investment analyst and my (tor)mentor beat me down until I finally mastered the wr...

Just when I was in dire need of something to break me out of my funk and get revved up for the new year, along come Suze and M.Pax  with an invitation to co-host a most excellent bloghop adventure!  Enough looking back upon the past that was 2012, we're jumping forward to 2023. Your adventure instructions are here: You're up before dawn on a Saturday when the doorbell rings. You haven't brewed your coffee so you wonder if you imagined the sound. Plonking t he half-filled carafe in the sink, you go to the front door and cautiously swing it open. No one there. As you cast your eyes to the ground, you see a parcel addressed to you ... from you. You scoop it up and haul it inside, sensing something legitimate despite the extreme oddness of the situation. Carefully, you pry it open. Inside is a shoebox -- sent from ten years in the ...

Back From the Future

(First paragraph modified to first person from Suze's lovely words) I'm up before dawn on a Saturday when the doorbell rings. I haven't brewed my coffee so I wonder if I imagined the sound. Plonking  the half-filled carafe in the sink, I go to the front door and cautiously swing it open. No one there. As I cast my eyes to the ground, I see a parcel addressed to me ... from me. I scoop it up and haul it inside, sensing something legitimate despite the extreme oddness of the situation. Carefully, I pry it open. Inside is a shoebox -- sent from ten years in the future -- and it's filled with items I have sent myself. Each item is contained in an envelope. Two envelopes are blank, but scrawled across one, in the eerily familiar penmanship that only I can accurately decipher, are the words: "The solution to the thing you're worrying abo...
